The troubles that torment you may not be your problems at all – but the miseries of some dead soul who possesses you!

The troubles that torment you may not be your problems at all – but the miseries of some dead soul who possesses you!

That’s the shocking conclusion of psychologist Dr. Edith Fiore, who says you can rid yourself of everything from depression to obesity by banishing the unwelcoming spirit that has taken over your body.

“On your own, you can learn ways to tell if you are possessed by the spirit of a dead person and how to rid yourself of his spirit,” says Dr. Fiore, author of The Unquiet Dead.

“Many people are possessed by earthbound spirits – the spirits of those who have died but have not gone into the afterworld at death. Instead, they have stayed on Earth and remained just as they were before they died – with the fears, pains, weaknesses and other problems that they had while they were alive. They are drawn to unite with the living. In fact, they don’t even know they have died.”

Dr. Fiore told Weekly World News that most victims of these earthbound spirits become possessed at times of vulnerability – when they are sick, emotionally upset or drugged.

The California therapist estimates that 80 percent of her patients are suffering from problems brought on by spirits of the dead.

She says any of the following symptoms could indicate that you are among those possessed:

Low energy levels

Sudden onset of physical problems, anxiety or bouts of depression

Character shifts or mood swings

An inner voice or voices that speak to you

Alcohol or drug abuse

Impulsive behavior

Poor concentration

Weight gain with no obvious cause

Dr. Fiore, who says she has cured more than 1,000 patients of spirit possession, is convinced that the average person can rid himself of unwanted spirits by following her simple method.
